give permission for the reaction
b)
raise activation energy
c)
speed up reactions
d)
control how many reactions occur
3.
Enzymes are capable of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction within a living cell.  Enzymes accomplish this through which of the following means?
a)
reducing the number of products   
b)
reducing the activation energy
c)
increasing the temperature of the cell
d)
increasing the concentration of reactants 
4.
What 3 letters do enzymes typically end in?
a)
-ose
b)
-ase
c)
-ese
d)
-tic
5.
Letter D...
a)
active site
b)
enzyme
c)
substrate
d)
products
6.
Enzymes provide a site where reactants called substrates can be brought together in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The site is called the
a)
enzyme substrate complex.
b)
reaction site.
c)
active site.
d)
lock and key.
7.

What happens to an enzyme when it denatures.

a)

High temperatures, changes in pH, or changes in salinity, disrupt the hydrogen bonds in the protein, which causes the shape of the active site to change resulting in a loss of function.

b)

The activation energy of the reaction is raised.

c)

The pH changes shape and the reaction no longer occurs.

d)

High temperatures and pH change the substrate.

8.
Each enzyme only has 1 substrate that will fit its active site.  What is this called?
a)
reusablility
b)
denaturation
c)
specificity
d)
fragility
9.

a)
15oC
b)
40oC
c)
30oC
d)
35oC
10.

Which accounts for the great diversity of biological polymers?

a)

There are trillions of basic monomers on earth.

b)

Polymers come together in different combinations to form "mega molecules."

c)

There is not a great diversity of biological polymers.

d)

The monomers are arranged in different sequences.

11.
